Overview
- On the Dec. 29 SmartLess episode hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett, Culkin said he sets ground rules before public outings.
- His rules include no approaches at the dinner table, no approaches when he is with his kids and no following him to the bathroom.
- He described managing these moments as his responsibility, saying, "I'm in charge of the social contract" and "I can guide this interaction."
- Culkin and fiancée Brenda Song share sons Dakota, 4, and Carson, 3, and he has kept his role as Kevin from them to preserve the movie’s magic, he said at an Academy Museum Q&A.
- He reflected on early stardom and a years-long break from acting, adding that he now works selectively and is "technically" retired between projects.
